"Let's go in first, let's talk about ......"

Seeing Yan first crossed the threshold, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the waxed wooden floor of the storefront.

Shao An looked up again and found that this was really an ordinary restaurant.

There are no eye-catching signs outside the store, such as "century-old brand", and with Shao'an's perception of the group of superchefs, only a very few chefs who have achieved such achievements in the field of culinary arts will choose to remain incognito and continue to hide in such small streets and alleys.

So, for Yan Xian's words, there is a young special chef here......

Shao'an couldn't help but be a little skeptical.

However, he did not take it lightly.

After all, they are in the same class.

Before the real life-and-death showdown, the outcome of the special chef is unknown.

"Be cautious."

"It's not a hairy kid like Liu Yuexing."

With a cautious mind, Shao An also followed Yan into the store.

As a result, the storefront was empty.

There were no guests dining, and even in the open bar, there was no head chef or shopkeeper.

"Is no one there?"

Yan first cooked himself, walked through the storefront, went to the patio and room at the back, and walked around and came back.

Shao An put down the burden and kitchen utensils box, and was about to find a random place to sit down.

At this time, in the direction of the bar, there was a sound of boiling water.

Bursts of steam rushed to the lid of the pot, and at the same time, bursts of strange umami leaked out of the cracks that rose up with the lid of the pot.

"Such a taste!" Shaoan couldn't sit still.

"Some kind of seafood?"

He saw Yan Xian standing in front of the bar, and his eyes were locked on the stove inside, a soup pot simmering on low heat.

Yan Xian's expression was not much surprise.

"Are you boiling seafood stock? What are the ingredients? Shaoan squinted.

Who knew that Yan Xian just shrugged his shoulders: "I also asked that guy yesterday about this question, and he said that there is no complicated combination of soup base ingredients." ”

He said that one ingredient is a pot of high-quality stock.

"Impossible!"

Shao An shook his head.

"The umami of the ingredients alone cannot reach this level in any way! There must be a recipe for a soup base! ”

"Really?"

Yan Xian just smiled softly, didn't say anything to refute, and a look of distant memories appeared in his eyes.

Legend has it that the legendary kitchenware "Spirit Storage".

It can give any water a fresh, deeper umami than the 'Blue Heaven', if you simply think that this legendary kitchenware only has the purpose of keeping the ingredients fresh forever, it is to underestimate the legendary kitchenware.

"You are ......"

A voice of surprise came from the doorway.

Yan Xian turned his head and found that it was the shopkeeper, and his eyebrows furrowed before he called out the ID: "Zhiyuanxing?" ”

Chen Zhiyuan obviously returned from the mission, holding a heavy bag, which was full of ingredients for the errand mission, including potatoes and onions.

"Where's your store manager?" Yan asked this sentence first, and immediately found that Chen Zhiyuan was dumbfounded, looking at Shao An next to him.

"Shao'an?"

"I'm Shao'an!"

Chen Zhiyuan's heart beat faster, he did not underestimate this special chef because of this defeat.

In his opinion, Shao'an was killed by the plot.

More precisely, it was defeated by the taste of the shell fairy.

Shao'an itself is undoubtedly an important trick in "Zhonghua Yiban", and when he appeared again in the later stage, he was a small leader in the dark cuisine world, and his status was the same as Xiang En, which proved that his qualifications and cooking skills could also be very nourishing in the headquarters of the dark world like a hellish jungle.

At noon today, he went to the provincial association, watched the cooking competition, and also ate "Magic Mapo Tofu" cooked by Liu Pleiades on the spot.

Now an afternoon has passed, the location has changed, and I will see you in the small shop.

Inexplicably, Chen Zhiyuan felt a kind of distortion and deviation!

Hey, hey!

The original book doesn't have this plot!

"Damn, I really want to take a full-body photo of the character of Shao'an and post it on the forum, so that they can watch this sad trick!"

On the surface, he pretends to be very calm, but he is actually roaring inside.

Chen Zhiyuan did not use the "photo and video" function that was updated online.

Because, if he, as an official 'trainee moderator', opens a special post for this screenshot of the character, it will let a group of players reply to the black question mark with the post.

They may have heard of the name Shao'an, those who follow the main line, or they may also understand this character, which is the key to the upcoming turn of the plot of Shudi.

However, it is impossible for them to know the story behind Shaoan.

It will not be predicted in advance, and Shao An will appear again at a later plot node.

"This is the loneliness of being the only one who knows the truth of the world!"

Chen Zhiyuan sighed.

What's even more important is that just like witnessing the plot of Shudi, he is so weak that he doesn't even have the qualifications to make trouble.

……

Reality, a small shop in Tokyo.

Xia Yan waved his hand and bid farewell to a few guests.

"Hey, I didn't expect that there would be a travel promotional video that would help me speed up the process of the mission."

Hiroka Miura brought a few more guests, who were obviously influenced by the promotional video, and wanted to try the infamous badly reviewed restaurant, those strange "black dishes" after being introduced by the street manager.

Regarding the request of the guests to take the initiative to eat dark cuisine, Xia Yan naturally welcomed it happily.

As a result, the progress of the 'bad reviews and smelly' task suddenly became 6/10.

He thought, probably, to take advantage of this wave of east wind to arrange the updated dark menu as soon as possible.

The appetizer is simple, the sashimi fish fillet is related, there is an arhat crystal chop, and any ingredient can be calmly handled.

It's the main dish, "Roasted Tofu with Douban Sauce", "Darkening - Persimmon Green Pepper Shredded Pork" and "Stuffed Tofu with Douban Sauce......

emmm。

Why is it all spicy and bean paste.

There are too few variety!

As for dim sum/snacks, "Spicy Mille-Feuille" can be the main force, and he has not yet successfully darkened "Jade Dragon Gluten".

"Having said that, it's time to learn the recipe of "Magic Mapo Tofu" from Liu Pleiades, strictly speaking, this is the recipe of the Bei Fairy, and the star rating and luminous index should not disappoint!"

Thinking of this, Xia Yan closed the real store and logged in to the paradise world.

Since Chen Zhiyuan lived in the small store and existed like the second shopkeeper, Xia Yan fixed the offline location in the dark alley outside the store, he took a few steps and turned a corner, and stepped into the store.

But he found 'Zhiyuan Star', ran up and down, and served tea and water to the guests.

Yan knew him first.

And the other ......

Xia Yan squinted slightly, heard footsteps, and Shao An also turned his head from his seat and collided with his gaze.

"Is it closing time again?" Xia Yan walked around to the bar.

"Tonight, it may be the last one." Yan Xian grinned slightly, his teeth shining under the lantern candle flame.

"Do you really stop thinking about it?"

Yan Xian said: "Come back with me, there, with your potential, you can learn any dark realm stunt you want to learn!" ”

"I'm sorry!"

Xia Yan hugged his arms and didn't feel that he needed any organizational training.

Yan Xian, who was accustomed to his attitude, fell silent, but Shao An raised his eyebrows and said unhappily: "This is the invitation of the prodigal son Yan Xian, what are you worried about?!" ”

"Like me, wouldn't it be nice to join the dark culinary world together?"

"Although I don't know how you passed the special grade assessment, if you continue to hide in such a shabby place, be willing to fall, be trapped in a small pond, and open a small shop with no customers, your life's achievements will stop at the special grade forever!"

It was clear that Shao'an had already considered himself a member of the dark culinary world.

From his rebellion against his master, we can know that this person is indifferent to feelings and only talks about his own fame and fortune.
